Races to Watch
District 2: Open Seat
The district, which includes parts of the San Fernando Valley, is up for grabs due to term limits. Incumbent Paul Krekorian is unable to run for re-election. Former State Assemblymember Adrin Nazarian and small business owner Jillian Burgos are vying for the seat.
District 10: Incumbent Seeks Reelection
Incumbent Councilmember Heather Hutt, who was appointed in 2021 following Mark Ridley Thomas’s indictment, is running for the first time. She faces a challenge from attorney Grace Yoo, who represents the neighborhoods of Arlington Heights, Koreatown, and Mid-City.
District 14: Incumbent Seeks Reelection
Incumbent Kevin de León, who is facing a challenge from tenant rights attorney Ysabel Jurado, is seeking his first re-election since a leaked audio recording in 2022 raised concerns. The district includes the neighborhoods of Boyle Heights, Downtown LA, and Northeast LA.
